While in the field, Us reporters often run across celebrities doing everything from smoking pot to snorting lines of cocaine in private parties and clubs. Of course, drug and alcohol use among celebrities is nothing new, but in a frightening turn, it appears to have become more publicly accepted. One source recalls a recent star-studded New Year's Eve bash in Miami: "There were lines of coke on the table, weed everywhere. It was insane. It was a very free atmosphere." Notes the scenester, "Coke is so not a big deal for young stars in Hollywood. It's like having a drink." Indeed, a stay in rehab once killed a person's career, but now celebrities openly disclose their drug use in interviews: Lohan admitted to drug use in Vanity Fair; singer Fergie has been candid about her former crystal meth addiction; Justin Timberlake has admitted he was stoned when he recorded his multiplatinum CD Justified; and John Mayer - currently dating Jessica Simpson, daughter of a former Baptist minister -- gave Rolling Stone an interview while puffing on a marijuana vaporizer. Which other stars have confessed to past drug use? What boldface names have been caught in the act? Why is drug use becoming more open in Hollywood? For more details on celebrities' hard-partying ways, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week. Click here to read more from this issue...
Katie Holmes has lost 20lbs.... Star Magazine has an article out claiming that Katie Holmes has lost about 20 pounds. According to the story, Katie has been shocking people lately with how much weight she has lost. She is at an estimated 125 pounds on a 5′9 frame, thanks to a 1000- calorie per day diet of high protein and low fat. There are rumors that Katie is slimming down in order to receive an Oscar nomination. She was spotted schmoozing with Nicole Kidman, who got an Oscar in 2002. There have been a lot of rumors that her and Tom had been fighting and that he wanted her to go to The Scientology Church and get re-dosed.... cleansed again so to speak.... which is like 8 hours in the suana... (That would make anyone lose weight... or possibly die of dehydration) Anyway, if you asked me I personally don’t think Katie is too thin now - in fact, she looks great.

Apparently, Britney Spears....has now confessed to bulimia. From PerezHilton.com: The 25-year-old singer tearfully told rehab staff - already treating her for drug and alcohol abuse - that she “pigs out” on junk food like burgers, sweets, biscuits and ice cream then makes herself vomit to avoid putting on weight. Britney’s nine-year nightmare, revealed in an American magazine, was confirmed by a senior source at the $24,000-a- month Promises centre in Malibu, California. So the speculation is over… it’s apparently a fact. Sad. Britney said she managed to stop the dangerous habit during her two pregnancies. But as soon as sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were born, she began the desperately unhealthy cycle again in an effort to lose her added baby weight. On top of her alcohol and alleged cocaine use, the bulimia turned her into a “human wreck”, according to the source, who added: “When she came here she was shaking and baking. Her whole body was wracked by spasms and she was hot one minute, then freezing cold the next. Britney is reportedly now being treated for the eating disorder with medication, which they are trying to give her at times that she won’t be throwing up. I’m worried about what this latest news will do to the ED community, and particularly to all of the “Britney wannabes" click here to read..
PROTHINSPO KNOWS HOW JESS LOST ALL THAT WEIGHT... WE SPOKE TO HER... THESE MAGAZINES ARE RECYCLING...
I was so disappointed when I opened this magazine to read about Jessica Simpson’s “new” diet. Especially since the article proclaimed that this is “The diet that’s changing Hollywood”. Ha. The alleged “diet” is the SAME one that is featured in nearly every single tabloid diet article! See the article and menus for yourself here. These supposed diet plans are nothing but the same thing recycled over and over. In order to back my claims up, I decided to do a little research on this little diet phenomenon. Sure enough, check out the menus from Tiffany’s diet, Janet Jackson’s diet, Tyra Banks’s diet, Ricki Lake’s diet, and this supposed hot Hollywood diet. And that is just some of them.
(You may have to scroll down to the last page of the articles to see the meal plans).
It’s always three healthy meals per day with small portions, plus two snacks. Or they like to say “five small meals per day” although it’s the same thing. Granted, the diets look really healthy, as they have a combination of lean protein, complex carbs, fruit, vegetables and healthy fats. But how is it that the celebrities suddenly “discover” a new diet when it’s the same one, all the time? This seriously leads me to believe that the tabloids have no idea which diets the celebrities are on at any given time. Instead, they keep changing around and reprinting the same one over and over and changing the name. How disappointing.
Anyway, sorry for the long diatribe. Click here to read the article about Jessica Simpson’s latest loss, which includes stories about other celebrities who are on the “diet”.
